What it is Filled

An audio or video recording is a time-based capture of sound, moving images or both, fixed as a work instance with its own identity, duration and tracks. It is the recording as an identified item; its files in different formats are renditions, a live transmission is a broadcast stream, and the underlying musical or dramatic work is a separate creative work.

Why it exists Filled

Time-based media identity and tracks

Distinguishing features Filled

  • A time-based item with duration and tracks, unlike a still image or text document.
  • The recording is distinct from its file renditions and from the work it performs.
  • A fixed capture, unlike a live broadcast stream.
  • Recordings of people carry consent and privacy duties that synthetic or abstract media may not.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Publish or share a recording beyond its licence or consent.
  • Alter a recording or create synthetic voices or faces of real people without declaring it.
  • Remove watermarks, credentials or rights metadata.
  • Use recordings of identifiable people to train or identify without a lawful basis.
  • Present an edited recording as an unedited original.

Only with a human decision

  • Releasing a recording that shows identifiable people in sensitive situations.
  • Using a recording as evidence in legal or disciplinary proceedings.
  • Taking down or restoring disputed content.

May

  • Catalogue recordings with identifiers, tracks and rights metadata.
  • Transcribe, caption or index recordings for search and accessibility.
  • Check integrity and content credentials before relying on a recording as evidence.
  • Report missing rights or consent information.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Recordings capture voices and faces, so privacy and consent of the people in them matter.
  • Manipulated recordings can deceive the public and damage reputations.
  • Performers and producers depend on correct attribution and rights tracking for income.

Who is affected

  • People recorded in the content
  • Performers, producers and rights holders
  • Audiences relying on authenticity

Owners Filled

Steward

The producer or archive that holds the recording and manages its rights and metadata.

Master systems

  • Media asset management system
  • Audiovisual archive catalogue
  • Rights management register

Links to other meta-models Filled

parent

  • WM-MED-002

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled

Identity and identifiers required Filled

  • Sound and music video recordings are identified by ISRC.
  • Audiovisual works and their versions are identified by ISAN.
  • Archives assign their own catalogue numbers, and files carry checksums.

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Not applicable

A recording is a digital or carried information item; its technical parameters such as duration and sample rate are recorded as metadata in the structure, not as physical properties.

Recognition optional Filled

  • Marked by a duration, one or more time-based tracks, a capture date and a producer.
  • Often confused with its file renditions, the broadcast that carried it or the underlying musical or dramatic work.

Capabilities and actions required Filled

  • Can be played, segmented, transcribed and rendered into derived formats.
  • Can carry embedded metadata and content credentials.

Hazards and failure modes required Filled

  • Deepfakes and undeclared edits that mislead viewers.
  • Exposure of private conversations or images.

Standards and interfaces required Filled

  • ISRC (ISO 3901) and ISAN (ISO 15706) identifiers.
  • EBUCore metadata for audiovisual content.
  • C2PA content credentials for provenance.

Context of use required Filled

  • Used in broadcasting, music, archives, journalism, meetings and evidence.
  • Recording of people is governed by privacy, consent and copyright law.

Sources Filled

  1. ISO 3901 International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), International Organization for Standardization
  2. ISO 15706 International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN), International Organization for Standardization
